I think your may be confused by your previous post
(a) The decision height (DH) to be used for a non-precision approach (NPA) flown with:

-the continuous descent final approach (CDFA) technique,

-approach procedure with vertical guidance (APV),

-or CAT I operation
Are 3 different things...

You can fly a CDFA (using the DA/H) technique with or without vertical guidance.

If you choose not fly the cdfa (I'd suggest not to use charts with cdfa only profiles then), I guess you can always use the DA as MDA.

Take a look to this side by side charts:
